| Botanical Name | Malvaviscus drummondii 'Big Momma' |
| Description | 'Big Momma' is a standout selection of our native Turks Cap, producing much larger blooms and foliage than the standard species. It is exceptionally tough and adaptable to the Houston metro area, tolerating both heavy clay and sandy soils. While it is drought-tolerant once established, it will bloom more profusely with regular moisture. It is one of the few plants that provides vibrant color in deep shade. |
| Exposure | Part Shade to Shade (Will tolerate full sun, but foliage looks best with afternoon shade in Texas) |
| Height x Width | 4-6 ft. Tall x 4-6 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; very drought-tolerant once established. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced organic fertilizer in spring; generally requires very little feeding. |
| Pruning | Cut back to the ground in late winter after the first hard freeze to encourage fresh spring growth. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
